Merrylands #160 Pro
The shortest Merrylands route at 8.3 km, taking just 18 minutes across 2 stages. Starting from Level 4 Green Parking (Area 4A) at Stockland Merrylands, this route stays within Merrylands and Merrylands West with perfectly balanced turns (5 left, 5 right). Despite its short distance, it includes bus lanes, 2 school zones, and speed cameras.
Watch Out For
- Bus lanes on Centenary Road and Sherwood Road. Driving in a bus lane during operating hours is an instant fail. Stay out of marked bus lanes even when the road looks wide.
- School zone near Chetwynd Road. 40 km/h during school hours (8:00-9:30am and 2:30-4:00pm). Speed drops from 60 km/h.
- Second school zone near Windsor Road. Two school zones on the shortest route demands careful speed control throughout.
- Speed and red-light cameras on Merrylands Road and Centenary Road. Multiple camera locations. Maintain correct speed and stop fully at red lights.
- Double unbroken lines. Never cross or drive on double lines. This is an instant-fail error that appears on several streets throughout the route.
- Give way at Walpole Street intersection. Give way to all oncoming and right-turning traffic. 4 give way intersections on this route, the most from this centre.
- Stockland Mall exit stop sign. Come to a complete stop for at least 3 seconds when leaving the shopping centre car park. The test begins here so first impressions matter.
